Key features
  1. High Detail and Articulation: The HGUC Gundam GP01Fb boasts impressive detail for its 1/144 scale, capturing the iconic design of the mobile suit from Gundam: 0083 Stardust Memory. The kit features sharp panel lines, intricate vents and hatches, and even molded-in markings for a realistic look. Additionally, the articulation is excellent, allowing for a wide range of poses thanks to ball joints and polycaps at key points.
  2. Full Burners and Core Fighter II: This kit distinguishes itself from other HGUC GP01 releases by including the powerful Full Burners on the backpack. These large thruster units add a striking visual element and enhance the GP01Fb's mobility lore. Additionally, the kit comes with parts to build a Core Fighter II, the mobile suit's detachable cockpit, further expanding its display and play options.
  3. Snap-fit Assembly and Color Accuracy: The HGUC line is known for its easy-to-assemble kits, and the GP01Fb is no exception. The parts snap together without glue, making it ideal for both experienced and beginner modelers. Furthermore, the plastic comes pre-colored in a variety of shades, accurately representing the GP01Fb's color scheme, reducing the need for painting for those who prefer a simpler build.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the GP01Fb different from the regular GP01?

The GP01Fb is a more mobile and heavily armed variant of the RX-78GP01 Gundam. Its key distinguishing features include: Large backpack with vernier thrusters: This iconic backpack enhances the GP01Fb's maneuverability and firepower, allowing for high-speed combat and devastating attacks. Beam rifle with a larger barrel: The GP01Fb's beam rifle packs a punch compared to the standard GP01's, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefield. Head vulcans: These additional head-mounted cannons provide extra firepower and close-range defense capabilities.

Is the kit poseable despite the backpack?

Yes, the HGUC GP01Fb retains good posability even with the backpack attached. The arms and legs have a wide range of articulation, allowing for dynamic poses. However, the backpack's size and weight can affect balance in certain positions, so some adjustments might be necessary.

Does it come with the signature beam saber?

Absolutely! The GP01Fb kit includes its iconic beam saber, allowing you to recreate epic moments from the anime. The beam saber can be stored on the backpack or wielded in various poses.

Is the build complex for beginners?

While the backpack adds some complexity compared to other HG kits, the GP01Fb remains beginner-friendly overall. The parts snap together easily with minimal glue required, and the instructions are clear and concise. However, some smaller and delicate parts might require extra care during assembly.

Is the GP01Fb worth the price for Gundam fans?

For its unique design, enhanced mobility, powerful weaponry, and iconic status, the HGUC GP01Fb offers great value for Gundam fans. It's a rewarding build and a striking addition to any collection. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting out, the GP01Fb is sure to please.

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
